I really prefer to use Media Player Classic for my multimedia needs. However, I've got some files which claim to be using the DivX 5 codec which will play just fine in DivX player, but stubbornly refuse to work in MPC. It can't possibly be a codec problem or they wouldn't work in either program, and in any event, loading the latest versions of both DivX and FFDShow (in that order, if it matters) didn't help. There is no error message, MPC simply sits there on a plain black screen, doing nothing.

(I dislike the DivX player because it seems very buggy, resource-intensive and unstable compared to MPC.)
